I believe Tillman graduated in 1999. He'd have a hard time making the list just because of the criteria of college success. Tillman did All-American at K-State in NWCA. The 3 state championships are impressive. However, he failed to make the varsity lineup while at Labette CC and this was before the Cardinals were National Championship contenders year in and out. The lightweights in front of him are All-Americans and National Qualifiers in D1, D2, and JUCO.

As for Long, I'm unsure if he wrestled in college. He won two titles at 130 I believe which is impressive, but he's contending with CJ Naiper for a spot on the roster who is a D1 varsity wrestler, 3X state champion, and Senior National Champion.

I think this roster is pretty legit with D1 and D2 wrestlers throughout. With a few JUCO All-Americans turned transfers to boot.

There are only 2 people who were or are not wrestling at the collegiate level. One is Ryne Coekley, who likely will wrestle collegiately just give him one more year of high school. The other was Jordan Bedore, he played college football at K-State, but was a 3X state champion in wrestling.
